Combination of Smudging, Textures, and C4Ds. Decided I wanted to get back in the wallpaper business. I have seen many, if any wallpapers using smudging, and now I know why. Every time I used the tool, PS would slow down in order to load my action. So it was mostly trial and error. I knew I wanted a deep sense of lighting with high contrast with color, so getting that right without butchering the depth was spent well. Saber is owned by TYPE-MOON, and belongs to Fate/Stay Night.
